Perception and Reality in Relationships

Hal: You screwed me, man. I had a beautiful, caring, funny, intelligent woman, and you made her disappear!

Mauricio: Third party perspective? Other people agreeing that its real?
Hal: Okay, let me ask you a question. Whose the all time love of your life?

Hal: [sighs] What am I gonna do?
